I don't own any of these characters:


In this A/E we find that summer vacation had just started and the gang was busy working on setting up for their next adventure. As usual it started when Cindy claimed something that Jimmy was positive was wrong. They bickered back and forth as usual and Sheen was on the edge of his seat with anticipation of the fun adventure they were certain to have. Carl fidgeted uncomfortably as their shouts grew louder and Libby just rolled her eyes and turned up the volume on her walkman. Finally the words Sheen anticipated were shouted out. "Well I guess I'll have to take you there and show you." Now it doesn't even matter what they were actually arguing about since this is a stunt that has played out many times before so let the adventure begin…

Jimmy activated his wormhole generator and opened a tunnel to a very distant moon in a galaxy that was many light years from Earth. The moon was called Yavin 4. It was one of three moons that were orbiting a massive planet that was a few times larger than Earth. The moon had three oceans on it and the land was covered in a vast jungle. They stuck together and made their way through the jungle. During their exploration they had a run in with some dangerous indigenous life forms that resided in the vast jungle. They would have met their untimely demise if it wasn't for the interference from a man who identified himself as Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. He had been training some students in that sector of the jungle when he sensed the children and the danger they were in.

Master Luke and the gang became friends and were given the grand tour of the academy. Luke took the time to explain what the jedi were and what their mission statement was. It was natural for the gang to be interested in joining this prestigious school. Master Luke performed a special test involving mind probing with the force. He had discovered a short time earlier that if he probed a force sensitive person's mind that the mind would reflexively shove back. The result usually ended up with Luke on his ass but it was a good test all the same. He was delighted to discover all five of the gang were force sensitive.

He explained that the force surrounds us and binds us and that it was no accident that they had come to find the temple. That it was clearly the force guiding their actions. They eagerly accepted his invitation to join the academy and upon getting the proper permission from their parents commenced with the training.

As usual Jimmy and Cindy were competitive and argued constantly over everything. Master Luke showed extreme patience with them and was amazed how fast they both were learning how to control the force. Even he couldn't deny that in some sick way that the two of them were good for each other. It gave him a migraine and he had to remind them constantly that anger was the path to the darkside.

They were really great together when the situation demanded their cooperation. Master Luke never saw two people that genuinely seemed to enjoy each other's company as they did. He could sense the inner conflict easily. It amused him that when he tried to speak to them on the matter of their secret love for each other that they denied it completely even though it was asked secretly.

The training involved running missions on various planets that were part of the federation as peace was kept in check with the Jedi as acting police.

One of the missions resulted in Sheen coming back badly injured without his partner, which happened to have been Cindy. They had been ambushed by a Sith Master. They fought bravely but Sheen was lucky to be alive and Cindy had been taken prisoner.

All Jedi were put on red alert and Cindy's whereabouts was the upmost priority. No one was more concerned about her well being than Jimmy was and Master Luke was most concerned over how hard Jimmy was taking it. Jimmy refused to be pulled off the search. Luke respected his wishes and reminded him that to mind his feelings and beware of the Darkside.

Six months passed without so much as a sign of Cindy until one day Master Luke discovered the location she was being held. He contacted all Jedi and intended to go in as a team and rescue her. Jimmy couldn't wait anymore and took off on his own. His destination was the jungle planet Icthia. There was an old Jedi temple that had been recently excavated and was the strong hold where Cindy was imprisoned.

Jimmy entered the temple and a massive door sealed behind him. He looked into the massive room. The walls were lined with hieroglyphs depicted ancient tales of the Jedi that had lived and died long ago. The temple was strong in the force which made it difficult for him to sense the exact location Cindy was being held. The dark side presence was strong up in this room and it made him proceed with even more caution.

A hooded figure was seated in the center of the room in an ornate throne. Jimmy could sense that this one was strong in the dark side of the force.

"Greetings young Jedi"

"Who, who are you?" Jimmy asked nervously.

"My name is Darth Sidius"

"Master Luke told me you were dead."

"I'm afraid that naïve boy is mistaken, as he has been about a great many things." Jimmy remained silent and simply stared at Sidius

"Come to save your friend?"

"You have Cindy?"

"Ahh, Cindy….so that was her name."

Jimmy caught the past tense and felt his body go rigid. Darth Sidius laughed in a menacing way. Jimmy concentrated on masking his feelings with the force but the slip up was obvious and the dark stranger laughed even harder when Jimmy realized that the jig was up.

"Your feelings for her were strong. But I'm afraid you have come a long way to be disappointed in the end. I'm afraid she is no more." He pulled back the hood and smiled at Jimmy. He was an unpleasant elderly man with wispy white hair and unnaturally veined skin. His red eyes were unsettling enough without that crude mocking smile.

"You lie" Jimmy said it barely a whisper. His voice shook as he tried to sound confident.

"Are you trying to convince me of that or yourself young Jedi? "

"Is it any consolation that she felt as strongly for you? "

Jimmy gasped.

"Ahh yes, your thoughts betray you as surely as hers did. I find the pain your feeling most amusing but I grow tired of this. Allow me to introduce you to my new apprentice, Darth Malice." A panel in the floor to the left of throne opened and it was a elevator. A 2nd hooded figure emerged and walked out and knelt before the throne. "Greetings Darth Malice"

"Rise, my apprentice and meet our visitor. The hooded figure named Malice turned and faced Jimmy. Jimmy could sense the power of the dark side wafting out in waves. Jimmy controlled his fear and tried to use the force to search for Cindy but the dark side was drowning out the attempt, He couldn't sense her with this much interference. He would have to get closer if he had any hope of finding her.

"Malice this is your final test. Pass this test and you will be Sith, do you understand?"

"Yes, Master. What is your command my master?"

Jimmy's blood ran cold when he recognized Malice's voice.

"Cindy?"

Sidius smiled at Jimmy and said "Kill the Jedi"

She nodded and said "As you wish, my master."

She removed her robe and Jimmy took in her appearance. Her hair was tied back up in a half pony tail and some of her hair hung in two matching tendrils on both sides of her face. She looked beautiful that way and the breath caught in his throat as he stared at her. She looked up and opened her eyes and he was startled to see her eyes had that same sheen of red to them and her expression was full of hatred. She placed her hand to her side and pulled out her light saber. He stood speechless as it ignited and a red beam appeared with an electric hum.
